what i would do is :

first off all 4' lift kit with 16x10 rims with 33's x12.50 OR 35' x12.50

the engine 351W
then rebuild the motor a little mild.. port the E7 heads with headers with Cam " compcams 35-255-5 " with 1.7 rockers i think that will be enough power for me :)

transmission E4OD
B&M shiftkit

then if there is any money left over.. a complete body work with a similair Darker more metallic gray.


thats just me but what would YOU do?:guns:

Fix the dent on the passenger side, swap in a manual transmission. Engine work only if it runs bad.

All new suspension bushings, springs and shocks.

Overhead console with CB radio.

West coast mirrors.

Possibly new bumpers- I haven't been impressed by the strength of that style stocker, although I do think they look nice.

Put the rest in the bank.

not a bad idea.. just suspension.. and body work.. with new 285/75/16 tires.. like in the ones with the rear...
make it look clean and stock again :)

put the rest in the bank for future engine build
not manual.. i like my E4OD but with a shiftkit tough.
 
if i were you... i'd give it to me

16x8 would fit perfect. im running 33/12.5/15 on my truck the rim is a 15"/7" i believe if not an 8"

16x10 is my vote. You know that Jurgen lol. Deep dish looks sick, and will make the 33x12.5 nice and wide. They wont have the bulged sidewall.
